SINGAPORE - "You're finished." This is what Christopher Lee's wife - Singaporean actress Fann Wong - told him when she heard him practising lines for his new drama Workers, a six-part Taiwanese HBO Asia original about a group of happy-go-lucky workers in blue-collared jobs.
The series premiered on Sunday (May 10) on HBO Go and new episodes are available on Sunday at 9pm.
